Photographer's Note

This is a fragment from "On the bus" a true story of life down under by Christina Boufis.
"To those in the Northern Himisphere, Australia has always been the place where things are upside-down: the water runs down the facet in a clockwise direction; it is cold and wintry in mid-August when it is hot and steamy back home; the night sky is dominated not by the customary lights of the Big Dipper, but by the unfamiliar stars of the Southern Cross; and the swans are jet black, not white."

Hi Zbigniew,
Not easy to shoot a photo of bright water surface, good lighting and exposure, very nice the water surface reflect the color of blue sky, good capture to a swiming swan, distinct image, well done.

Hi Zbigniew,
this is a wonderful presentation of this rare bird; and the composition is excellent. You captured the creature in a decisive momemt! I also like the nicely contrasting colors. My compliments!
Warm regards

Hello Zbigniew,
Very beautiful view of this elegant bird! The square format goes very well with the composition of the image. Bravo!
I like your note, because I noticed these differences between North and South. Did you notice about the moon? When it is crescent, it is like a 'C' in Southern Hemisphere and inverted in Northern Hemisphere... ;-)
Thanks for sharing,
